Hello doctor, what happens if you sleep with eyes open? my nephew his 18 i noticed today he sleeps with eyes fully open. is it something to be concerned or is this normal with no problems in the long run?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not normal. Sleeping with eyes open is medically referred to as nocturnal lagophthalmos. Your nephew should see an ophthalmologist; otherwise, his eyes will get damages without appropriate care.
